While 3E and 4E kept item Availability Ratings as general guidelines, earlier editions had an actual mechanical procedure tied to those ratings. GMs could utilize the procedure to determine whether a particular item was available from a particular vendor at a particular time. I'm looking to reintrod...

1. Radii in the GMG include the additional radius where light sources provide dim lighting (enough light to see with a penalty) Point taken, but it's the other way around. The GMG lists smaller radii with a text note about dim light to double the distance. The PG equipment descriptions list the lar...

Appreciate the input, Bonhumm. It appears you're referencing M:AMoMS, though. I'm specifically interested in the 4E position on this because some of the language has been tweaked and clarified over the editions. That doesn't necessarily invalidate your responses, but I think we're talking past each ...

1) pretty sure that's bright radius vs total radius. smaller number is bright light, they get additional range with dim. I'd buy this if the lantern radius was also halved in the GMG (which is where we get a detailed explanation of bright vs. dim light). I suppose one could argue that the 10 yd. la...

Just finished a full readthrough of the ED4 GM's Guide, and I have a handful of miscellaneous questions. I assume answers to most of these should be relatively straightforward, so please forgive my cramming disparate topics under the same thread. The radii of most light sources differ between the PG...

How does astral sensing function in regard to astral forms (e.g., unmanifested spirits, astral Horrors)? The text of the ED4 Player’s Guide is fairly explicit about perceiving the astral imprints of physical forms but not nearly as clear on what astral sensing reveals of astral natives. Here are the...
